Putin orders Russian government to outline proposals for BRICS grain exchange
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his government to present proposals to facilitate grain trading with other countries including India and China, according to documents published by the Kremlin on Saturday. The idea for the grain exchange also including Brazil and South Africa among others - which together with Russia make up the group of countries known as the BRICS - is to allow buyers to purchase directly from producers, and was already backed by Putin ahead of summit of the group in October. The Kremlin has asked for the proposals to be presented by July 1 by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina.

Bridgewater Co-CIO shares 3 ways to weather volatile markets
Markets have been volatile in April as investors adjust to the idea the Federal Reserve may not cut rates as much as they had hoped. So, how should investors go about building a more resilient portfolio? Karen Karniol-Tambour, Co-Chief Investment Officer at Bridgewater Associates, has some suggestions. Her first suggestion is to shift asset allocations so that the portfolio has less exposure to stocks.  Her second tip is to "prioritize resilience" within your current holdings. For example, for those with a stock-heavy portfolio, she advises asking "What kind of stocks are likely to be more resilient whatever comes?" to determine which stocks may be worth holding on to given the scenario you are most concerned about.  Karniol-Tambour's third piece of advice is "to say 'whatever I hold, what's going to really do well when everything else falls... things that will really do well when other things do poorly." She admits this is the most difficult tip to put into action, given that involves timing the market. Watch the video above to hear which region Karniol-Tambour says investors should pay more attention to. Be sure to check out the full interview with Karen Karniol-Tambour.

Olga Fikotová-Connolly, who has died aged 91, was a discus thrower who won Olympic gold for Czechoslovakia in 1956 but came into conflict with her country’s Communist apparatchiks, who branded her a traitor when she fell in love with an American hammer thrower; she was forbidden from representing Czechoslovakia and had to compete in the next four Games for her new husband’s country, eventually carrying the Stars and Stripes into the stadium at the 1972 Olympic opening ceremony.
